Sandbox - 29mar19

[Well, the Dems are looking to an approach to 'Medicare for All' designed by a couple of Univ of Mass economists that promises "You'd be able to keep your doctor with no premiums or copays, and overall spending would decline." Now where have we heard all that before? The many holes in this plan (here) also recommend its alternative use as a sieve. gjr]

Of course not. Obamacare isn't viable, no new plans are viable. All new plans have to meet the needs of everyone. Marginal healthcare treatments are covered, end of life treatment isn't cut back, doctors/nurses/etc. don't take a 50% haircut in pay, poor people get insurance for free, illegal aliens get insurance for free, middle class gets insurance for far less than what it costs, drug companies don't cut back on R&D, paperwork and approval still has to get done by somebody, population continues ageing.

Oh wait! I know! MEDICARE FOR EVERYONE!!! lol. What BS.

Again, a quick question. How many years between age 21 and 65 did you buy your own health insurance?

Paul Emery 722 I am not agreeing with you. You put words and intent in others. Stop it. McCain switched the vote which would have been the passing vote. All others were well known. You are simply ignorant.

No that would be you trolls that have no rights. We can say anything we want. But you lib trolls are all PC and pathetic. McCain was petty and even his funeral was petty.

CNN has also participated in the effort to have Carlson blacklisted by advertisers due to his right-of-center political beliefs. Since the fake news outlet cannot beat Carlson in the ratings, it is hoping to drive him off the air through McCarthyism.

It appears that one of the many unfortunate deficits of our progressive brethren includes not knowing that in group decisions, especially in highly politicized and evenly divided legislatures, one strong and respected member can and often does sway the outcome. It was ever thus.

Priceless, simply priceless. Children say the earnest things. Such projection.
Punchy talking about credibility?? Oh my, I heard it all. “....and it makes him look really stupid for him to assume....”. “Goodness this guy is ignorant.”

That pretty much sums it up. Was waiting for the cry of “20 million people are going to die in the streets” as was the mantra of ignorance from the ignorant ones just a couple of years ago. 20 million people will die on the streets if the Unaffordable Care Act is repealed!”, yet they could not answer how many people died on the streets before Obamacare. Mercy.

At least the Botox Queen has learned her lesson and does not want to appear as the biggest fool on the planet. She has others that do that for her. Now she says “people can die”.

“Oh wait! I know! MEDICARE FOR EVERYONE!!! lol. What BS.” Yep. The current slogan is “Medicare for all is Medicare for none.”

Emery has splain'n to do. If socialized medicine is so great, then why in HELL is Mick Jagger getting heart surgery here in the U.S. and not back home in the U.K.?
He should be getting the rock star "go to the head of the line" treatment.

Let's have the excuses Emery. Your own damned words,, not some piss poor cut and paste.

Guns grabbers commission two studies. Both do not yield the results they were seeking.

“A study on state-level gun control laws in the U.S. shows that bans on “high-capacity” magazines and “assault weapons” do not lower homicide rates.”

“The study was headed by Boston University School of Public Health’s Michael Siegel and another listed study author was Harvard gun control advocate David Hemenway.”

“The study, The Impact of State Firearm Laws on Homicide and Suicide Deaths in the USA, 1991–2016: a Panel Study, isolated four states to study ten different types of gun control to see if certain gun controls were successful in reducing homicide and/or suicide rates. Via their research, they discovered that “high-capacity” magazine and “assault weapons” bans do not lower homicide rates.”

“In an interview with Futurity.org, lead study author Michael Spiegel elaborated: “Although I completely understand the desire to ban assault weapons, I just don’t see empirical evidence that such bans have any substantial impact on homicide rates. These bans are most often based on characteristics of guns that are not directly tied to their lethality.”

So what George!!! the bottom line is Trump didn't have the votes. He failed to convince one democrat and had three Repubs go the other way. Are you saying that's an excuse? He lost, pure and simple and it will be tougher next time around because he almost certainly won't have the House on his side. Gosh and Golly, he might actually have to negotiate a deal!!

It looks like just about all the Leftinista declared candidates are all in for Medicare for All. Punchy has been since forever. So, I don’t know what the fuss is all about.
Credit Kamala Harris for coming out and saying it. Just dismantle private health insurance, throw 180 million people off the coverage most of them like, and stick everybody on government run government owned health insurance. End it, don’t mend it. See Bernie’s poll numbers lately? Not bad. Medicare for All!

What more is there to say? Don”t think anyone on the left is for Mend it, Don’t End it. Maybe the Iraq vet Hindu from Hawaii Tulsi Gabbard is not all in on Medicare for All, but I doubt it.

Might be worth seeing what Howard Schultz has to say for those in the middle. He is pretty good with numbers and does use Monopoly money when doing a budget.

Kinda shoots the shit out of your own argument Emery.
Under what YOU want, that would be ILLEGAL. Miss what your pals in D.C. are stumping for? "End private insurance". That would also mean, YOU can't pay that hospital and Dr.s OUT OF POCKET.

Just like with an injury OWNED by worker's Comp. W.C. won't pay for the treatment, and my Doc. can't do a thing without their approval.
That's your Kalif. health care at work.

Yep, and now they are going back to attacking the dreaded FOX New Network again with a vengeance, pun intended. Oh my. They will never learn a thing when they are convicted they are not only right, they are infallible. They are free to believe whatever they wish.

This is CNN: Now they think it is the Police State’s job to protect Hillary from mean words, lol. Oh my. Should the FBI have “allowed” folks to have fun and revel in chanting “Lock her up, lock her up”? Do we need a permission slip from the hall monitor?
Yo Christine. This is America. In your native Britain, they took away people’s guns and throw citizens in jail for Facebook posts. And in London, someone is attacked with a machete or knife every ninety minutes. Oh, the Lock Her Up chant drives the Clintonistas nuts. Drives them Coo-Coo for Cocoa Puffs.

PaulE 1015am - Don't confuse excuses with explanations. It is you and yours who were confused about why the Repubs couldn't pass healthcare. And then, with your impeccable logic, you went on to accuse Trump of "lying". One of the reasons you guys elect idiots and bad guys to public office is that you may not know how they will operate in a political institution. Or, then again, if your hand is out for a government check, then you know exactly what payment you require for your vote.
